"Certainly there is no hunting like the hunting of man and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never really care for anything else thereafter. You will meet them doing various things with resolve, but their interest rarely holds because after the other thing ordinary life is as flat as the taste of wine when the taste buds have been burned off your tongue." - Ernest Hemingway

In a dystopian future, much of humanity has perished in a series of terrible wars. Some form of society has been rebuilt from the rubble, but it is unlike anything we knew before the terrible cataclysm. Women have been stripped of all rights and are treated as property that can be bought, sold and discarded as easily as a car or a TV. Most of the population of earth now lives in a few clusters of partially rebuilt metropolises. The total world population is under 200 million. The majority of the female population lives in de facto slavery. The only exception are those women who find themselves in the so-called "free zones". They encompass the largely uninhabited areas in between the reconstructed cities. Between the wild-life which has reclaimed much of the earth and the isolation, life is very hard in the Free Zones. And that is even without counting the favorite new pass time of the world's elite: hunting for the "free range" women that inhabit the Free Zones.

Using satellite surveillance, Gyros (futuristic helicopters) and a series of ultra-modern traps and weapons, these men hunt the women. Their motives are not unlike those of the big game hunters that used to go to Africa to kill a lion or an elephant (which are both now extinct). Only the aim is not necessarily to kill, but rather to capture, rape and torment. Depending on if the woman is to their liking, she is brought back home as a living "trophy", sold as a slave or simply discarded after the hunt.

This would be a free-form NC human game. All players would be part of one of two groups: a party of hunters who are on a holiday in the Free Zone to hunt women, or one of the unfortunate women that falls into their clutches. I myself will play a trained female slave who assists her master on the hunt. This means that sexually she would be off-limits to the rest of the hunters, though obviously her master will use and abuse her himself.

I would like to limit the group of hunters to 3-6 men. There will be no limit on the amount of female prey, though obviously we will make sure there are enough hunters to keep them all occupied. The women can be all part of the same Free Zone community or just total strangers, either is fine. The men can be anyone and come from anywhere. They all should be wealthy though, since the Woman Hunt is a hobby only the super rich can afford. All of them should hail from one of the worlds major cities, since that is where most of the population of the world now resides. Though take into consideration that the population of those metropolises will have quite literally been decimated. NYC has by far the biggest remaining population at 2 million souls.

The year is 2135. Humanity is technologically advanced, but much of the new technology has been created using salvaged equipment from the wars. So even "new" vehicles have a used (second-hand if you will) appearance. There is some semblance of global rule. A series of laws (including the one that stripped women of all their rights) have been passed in the name of "The Republic". This shady organization is based in what used to be the UN building in NYC. Their laws are more or less upheld by all of the cities around the world, even though the true power in each metropolis lays with the Mayor. Those men rule their domain like the Kings of times gone past.

That is fine AurelieCatena. Just as long as you make it realistic. The hunters are well-armed and have satellites to track the women's movements, Gyros to attack them from the air and move around quickly and an assortment of modern weapons and traps. The women are limited to the things they can find and craft in the wastelands. Think custom made spears, salvaged old rusty axes, perhaps a single fire-arm with a handful of remaining bullets. You get the picture.

But I'm sure some of the male players would enjoy capturing and breaking the leader of a small group of woman warriors.

Bio: Gabriel has been in trouble with the law since he was nine years old. Growing up on the streets alone did much to harden his personality. NYC was relentless and cruel and when Gabriel finally was arrested for the last time they sentenced him to 7 years of 'Public' Service. This meant a more 'militaristic' lifestyle.

After his time was served he took up a job hunting free women for a rich and mysterious man. He is often given a list of attributes to look for in women. Mr. X, as his employer liked to be called, had very specific taste. once supplied gabrielf would leave for the expedition to fulfill the quota of "Mr. X".

Actually Aurora, the rich men wouldn't let someone else take the pleasure of the hunt. It's part of the appeal for them. I have no objections to your character having a criminal background, but perhaps he has made his fortune in crime and is now hunting for himself?

Bio: After 'the fall', Jack made his money providing people with the things they needed - even if they currently belonged to other people. He rose to be the most influential man in what remained of the London (UK) dome. He has basic military training from many years ago so finds hunting a good outlet to relieve his stress. Not a vindictive man, he likes to win and he likes to be obeyed. Best him, or disobey him and he is quick to anger.

Name: LoreleiAge: 23Role: Personal slave to one of the hunters, has been trained in tracking and assisting in the hunt.Bio: Lorelei was born straight into the captivity of London’s slave market. The slave trainers raised and taught the girls to fill a variety of roles and tasks. Depending on their future owner’s wishes, their virginity was kept intact. Lorelei had been trained to hunt and track. Little did she know that the main prey she would be hunting were other women. On the day she turned 18 she finally met her owner: Jack Spence, a man who struck fear in the hearts of even the most hardened individuals of the London underground. She has served him on his every whim since then and has accompanied him on several hunts all over the world.

Name: Elizabeth, Lizzie or Beth for short.Age: 22Role: PreyBio: Elizabeth was born as the result of a rape, her mother was caught by a hunting party and while she was freed by the group she ran with, the damage had already been done; she carried his child inside her. Despite the reason for her conception, she was loved all the same by her mother and was raised in the free zones within a group of women who looked after each other. It was a hard life, and they moved often to avoid the hunters that came looking for them. It was one of those hunting parties that caught and killed her mother when she was 15. Elizabeth survived, and continued to travel with that group until she came of age. It was then that she met AurelieCatena's character (will update when character sheet is up), and she has been running with her since she was 18.

Elizabeth is a quirky woman with a warm heart, and a knack for tending to injuries. Born amongst the free women it came naturally for her to learn various languages, although her own accent is more akin to British as that is where she has spent most of her youth. She is very protective of her group and considers them family. She is not as well skilled in fighting as her sisters, and she makes up for that with her talents in medicine and technology.

Appearance:

Elizabeth has been told that she looks like her mother, however, her flaming red hair is from her father's genes. It also makes her big target, so she often keeps it braided to limit it from giving her away so easily.

Name: Kasia (Kassie).Age: 24Role: PreyBio: When little more than an infant Kasia’s father sent her, her mother and sister away to hide in the wilderness rather than allow his them become victims of the new regime. Kasia was raised by her mother and older sister in the freezone, running and hiding from the hunters. Her Mother died of pneumonia almost 15 years ago and her sister provided and cared for her until captured by the hunters when Kasia was 19 (It may be interesting if her sister turned up as a slave). Kasia now survives on her wits and instincts and although she has frequent contact with the resistance group, she is a solitary creature and prefers to remain on her own, a shadow that haunts the edges of the new world.

Name:Captain ArkaneAge:Maybe 50 ?Role:hunter Bio:Captain Arkane likes to present himself as a veteran of the seas, dressing like an old merchant navy officer, smoking a pipe, cursing and drinking beer. Probably most of this image is a charade. He likes to be seen as a merry, cheerful, harmless old man, but he's cruel and likes to manipulate other' people lives to his personal gain.So, now he wants to capture some preys to train them on his cargo ship, and sell them for a high price in a far away port as slaves.Appearance:

Count me in on this too. I don't have a specific idea for a character yet, other than to be prey, but I'll think up an idea for a character in the next couple of days or so. Good thing for me we're not starting until next week!
